Grantmaking Priorities 2021-2022

We establish grantmaking priorities in order to make the greatest impact.  We apply them for three years and then review them. And we publicise them to help would-be applicants know what we are likely to fund.  These priorities are not exclusive, and the Governors may consider exceptional applications outside them where the projected results fit well within our overall aims.  These priorities were revised in 2020 due to the Covid-19 crisis.

Top Priorities

  1. Directly support for the academic achievement of pupils, particularly projects that will help close the attainment gap between pupil premium pupils and their peers. 
  2. Support young people (under 30) into employment – priority will go to projects that are able to offer routes into secure employment at London Living Wage level and/or working with young people who are furthest from the labour market.  
  3. Maximising access to free, independent advice from accredited sources, particularly in the fields of debt, housing and employment. ​

Subsidiary Priorities

     4. To address student (re-)engagement with school, particularly in transition years and for students at risk of exclusion.   
     5. Early intervention projects that address the mental health needs of our target pupil groups where it is clear they cannot be funded by school or state.
